    Just a general heads up ladies and gents, later today I will be heading into a period of 'radio silence' - but I will be back as soon as I can

    My router has been flaky at best for some time now, so I bit the bullet the other day and ordered a new dual-band gigabit fellow that should hopefully last me a while. It has just arrived, so I will be installing it later on today (once I have finished cleaning the oven - oh, the delights :snork:). No doubt, there will be a few hoops to jump through before I get it working, so bear with me while I work it out :biggrin:

            Ladies and gentlemen, due to circumstances mostly within my control, the maiden flight of the project codenamed "Whoopeee, its quick!" has been delayed until tomorrow.

            Domestic flight rules mean that I will not be able to take advantage of the post 1900hrs timeslot this evening (apparently something big is happening in a fake street somewhere in the east of London :scratch: ), so it is unlikely that the flight will take place until after a stock replenishment exercise (shopping) tomorrow.

            Project "Scrubbit" took longer than anticipated (I let my inner OCD get the better of me, and what started as an oven clean ended up with me getting out some fine cutting paste and refinishing the stainless steel finish on the hob, oven front, cooker hood and sink - the resulting mess was then scrubbed and buffed, and the remainder of the kitchen then took a beating); going to seem a shame to ruin it by cooking dinner later :biggrin:

                              Clearly oven cleaning ranks way below weeding, turning over the compost heap, sterilisation of plant pots and cleaning out the greenhouse! :roflol:
